Well, people definitely want to do more, and CSS was the only game in
town.  That doesn't necessarily mean that CSS should let them do more.

It's an age-old problem in communications, as any tech support rep
knows; a user will say, "I want to do X," when they mean, "I want to
do Y and I think that X is the way to do it."  I'm not saying CSS
shouldn't grow, only that requests for it to do so are not evidence
that those making the requests really want it to, especially if the
price is that it becomes less usable for simple tasks.
